Default Stumbled Here

Hi all, glad I found this place, some avatars here look familiar from some of the other forums I'm on, so some of you may already know, or know of me.

My name is Roger, I'm 26, getting married April 12th to my girl of 8 years (shes 23), live in Bothell, WA, we have 2 dogs (at least one usually travels with us) and a cat (stays home).

Our outdoorsy interests include, four wheeling, hikes, snowboarding and fairly primitive camping (IE no pay sites with facilities prefered)

We would also like to try snowshoeing in the near future, and I have a small fly fishing setup, but haven't used it in years, and I'm probably not so good anymore.

Unfortunately our schedules seem to keep us from enjoying these activities as much as we'd like to, but hopefully things will open up more after the wedding.

The current rig we use to get us where we want to go for these activities is a 2005 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab TRD sport. Here's a pic:



Current Mods are a 3" suspension lift from Toytec with OME coils and Alcan Add a leafs, Front and rear bumpers and sliders from All-Pro offroad, and some BFG MT's 255/85/16.

So far I have only been on some day trips to ORV parks, but really would like to do a 2-3 day weekend expedition.

My other vehicles are a 90 Toyota Celica all-trac with a blown motor, hopefully sometime this century to be built into an autox/track day car, and an 01 Audi A4 1.8t quattro we use for commuting around town.

Can't wait to join you guys on some trips!

That was at Reiter over the last weekend with WATTORA. Only my second time there, so not completely familiar with trail names, but I believe right below the stairs, I had turned around and was heading down.

Roger, welcome to the forum...Nice looking truck. You'll have a lot of fun with that.

You're right, the problem is trying to get out more. Just have to make ourselves do it I guess.
